Chocolate Chip Cake with Pomegranate
Who doesn't love a decadent chocolate cake? We all do but not everyone likes to mess around with melted chocolate or rather the process of melting the chocolate. Multiple dishes, careful supervision and then chocolate is extremely sensitive to heat. It can seize, it can solidify quickly if added to … Read More
Baked Ricotta Cheesecake
What do you do when you have left-over lemon curd and ricotta cheese at home? It happens, right? Especially the lemon curd. You throw them together, add in a few other ingredients (all of which are in your pantry) and voila...you have a cheesecake! It looks and tastes every bit like a lemon … Read More
Blood Orange Polenta Cake
So many ways of making a citrus cake! Because the citrus flavour is deliciously predominant in a recipe it is used in, it is interesting how you can play around the textures by using different ingredients. I've already told you how much I love nuts and oranges together. This time I've added in some … Read More
Blueberry-Misu
Do you guys make anything special on Fridays for the weekend? I don't enjoy spending too much time in the kitchen on the weekend unless I'm hosting a get-together or entertaining. When Rugby season kicks in during the cold months, most of our Saturdays are spent driving the boys and watching them … Read More
Blood Orange Hazelnut Frangipane Tart
Until last year Blood Orange was this exotic, stunning looking citrus that I had only seen in pictures. Once I figured out where and when to find them, I've literally waited, keeping an eye out for them this year. Who else is crazy about fresh produce like me? And really how amazing is the world around us! Well, now that they are here and the season is fleeting I have a few recipes to share. Personally I find the best pair with citrus are nuts so a frangipane tart was a must. The tart didn't disappoint at all. Bright, bold, nutty, buttery and so delicious bursting with the flavour of hazelnuts and a punch from the slightly sour blood oranges. When Blood Oranges arrive in Australia, there is something else to look out for. The cherry blossoms. So yes, Spring is coming. We made it! Blood Orange Hazelnut Frangipane Tart Makes a 6 inch round tart (serves 6) Shortcrust tart shell, store bought or home-made (use this recipe) For the frangipane filling 100 g unsalted butter, softened 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 egg 1 cup hazelnut meal 1/4 cup plain flour 1 tsp powdered cinnamon 2 tbsp finely grated blood orange zest 1/2 cup orange marmalade 2 fresh … Read More
One Bowl Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting
I baked this chocolate cake yesterday and I knew I had to share this recipe quickly with you. I always receive heaps of fantastic reviews on my Easy Chocolate Cake with Raspberries (yes, it is the most popular recipe on this blog) but I think I just found something even better, even more decadent and just oozing with choclatey deliciousness. The frosting is a bomb! It tastes like chocolate silk (haha! if there was a term like that) and doesn't have the rich after-taste of the chocolate fudge frosting. And the best part? Its dead easy to make. Both the cake layers and frosting are one bowl, quick mix, simple to assemble and incredibly delicious. I think the fun part is sticking chocolate sprinkles all around the cake. This is a great way of covering any imperfections (if any) in your cake and I did this a lot when I wasn't confident about frosting a cake a few years ago. And it looks like it's ready for a party, doesn't it? If you can't find chocolate sprinkles, just go with grated dark chocolate. It works the same way! One Bowl Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting Makes a 3-layered 6 inch round cake 250 g unsalted … Read More

Raspberry and Pumpkin Mini Cakes
Autumn came and turned into winter and winter is half-way through. I realized that I haven't made any pumpkin desserts this year. Last Autumn, I discovered the deliciousness called pumpkin in sweeter recipes and had begun to acknowledge its hype around colder months in the Northern Hemisphere. I really wish we had access to pumpkin puree in Australia. Perhaps that is one of the reasons pumpkin cakes are not so popular here. Making the puree took me longer than creating a dessert with it. Well, I am sorted for now, having made a big batch of butternut squash puree yesterday. Gives me a solid reason to take out some every other day and make a pumpkin something. These easy peasy pumpkin mini cakes have nothing complicated or extravagant about them. Just mix and bake. The raspberries were a last minute addition since I was slightly unsure how the pumpkin alone would taste. (Oh goodness, it's been a year since I tasted pumpkin). Logically speaking, chocolate can save any disaster but berries come a close second. So instead of chocolate chips, I threw in a few raspberries. The next few days hopefully you will see a bit more of me on the blog. I have a huge pending list of recipes … Read More
